Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Haha, I hate getting the run around on stupid ****. I just decided to wait until I get home and go to Intro's actual office and put in the order in person. So much worth it

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Santa came 3 months late
AND I got the chance to meet Nate Porter in person today! Kinda funny, this guy won a dropmember in a raffle and looked like he didnt know what it was at first. I looked over at him and said that Porterbuilt's stuff was great quality stuff and that I just got mine yesterday. This guy standing next to him immediately asked for my name and introduced himself... I was pretty shocked at first! Glad I could put a face to the name

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Well, unfortunately I didnt get any work done during my trip home... It was really sad, but I did manage to completely remodel my kitchen, and get engaged. I think those were pretty legit reasons to not get any work done! Still pretty depressing to not see any progress
:/

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
The progress will come, congrats on getting engaged. That is a legit reason to take a step back from the truck. I'm getting married in a month so I know how it is.

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Everything actually worked out pretty well with my incident once I got home. I was very lucky! Im back out on the road for 4 months and I should be getting another 4 back home after that. I think that will be a good chunk of time to get some work done!

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
So, any of you fellow LS swappers ever dealt with F.A.S.T products??? Im looking into this system. Just the ease that they advertise seems perfect, plus that intake manifold. OMG!

Agreed, FAST has quality goods.
Good to see another Gen III out there. They are a thing of beauty with so much potential. |

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
Good to hear that they have some satisfied customers. Ive been reading alot about their stuff on LS1tech.com and the only thing that people really tend to complain about is the price. But, you get what you pay for! I was actually surprised at the actual cost of the system. Turned out to "only" be $4100... I was expecting somewhere in the $5-6K range to be honest

Re: Long Project: Orange Julius
HAHA, thanks man! I only have 31 days remaining on my deployment and she is gonna get some work done... Long time coming too. Time to get back spooled up on prepping myself.
Ive been spending alot of time just trolling around here, growing envious of Mike(67cheby) and Eric's(superflysteiny) builds. Time to change it up! LOL
